Description

The University of Wolverhampton’s Black and Minority Ethnic Staff Network is joining forces with staff and students from across the university for a special week of film screenings about the life experiences of Black and Asian people from all over the world. Topics covered include the challenges faced by a disabled child in India, the lifestyles of young black women in France and the fight for LGBT rights in Uganda.

The Film Festival is taking place from the 30th January to the 2nd February. Every day we will be having a film screening at 5.30pm, and on Wednesday they’ll be an additional screening at 1.30pm. Each screening will be introduced by either a staff member or supporter of the University of Wolverhampton.

With the exception of the Monday film screening, all screenings will be taking place in the Arena Theatre. Limited free refreshments and snacks will be available at each event.

For more details, including the precise films that we will be screening, please email equality@wlv.ac.uk or message the team through Facebook.

The events are open to all staff, students as well as the general public.
